Makings of a MENACE, CONTRITION of a Man

by Halim A. Flowers

This epic memoir captures the emotional journey of a preteen coming of age in the Nation's capitol during an era in which Washington, D.C. was the murder capitol of the country. From his initiation into the drug trade at the age of twelve, to his receiving two life sentences at the age of sixteen, the words on these pages relate a tale that is devastating and inspiring in the same breath as its readers will learn the path to contrition which Halim A. Flowers took to transform from a prisoner to a publisher, author, poet, blogger, college student, and an at-risk youth activist.

[Jean Snowden · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book re-enforces the fact that the leaders in this country who enforce the laws are clueless to the living conditions of children who are labeled menaces. We must work together as a society to break the cycle of hopelessness for these communities. Imagine a world where ALL children were given opportunities of hope and love. This book gets to the deep issues in our prison systems, areas of poverty, through personal feelings and experiences of a young Black teen.
